“Suddenly the whole process within the computer referred to all media. All the components of sound, image, motion, color, could be generated and controlled by code. The materiality of the operating process became a binary code translated into a numerical form, and through this code it represented all media – sound and image as such could be represented by the unified structure, namely the code, or the software, or the program. This was for me very radical. This is a very special case, because everything until then had been dependent on physical conditions. Everything in front of the camera obscura, the photographic apparatus and the video camera, originated in the world of light. But through the code we could assemble independent structures, which no longer related to the outside world, having become internalized and totally independent through internal operations of the computer.”
